Hello!
Like many other elements in chemistry, when an atom's valence shell is filled the element becomes stable. Through the octet rule we know that when the very last valence shell becomes filled, the atom is stable and therefore it is highly unlikely for the element to form bonds with that of another.
I hope this helped!
Answer:
d
Explanation:
neutrons and protons have the mass nearly 1.67*10-24 g
but neutrons have no charge.. protons are positively charged
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 4.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are three sub-atomic particles present in an atom. They are: electrons, protons and neutrons.
Protons constitute in each and every atom.
The charge on proton is of equal magnitude as that of electron but having opposite sign. Proton carry a positive charge and electron carry a negative charge.
Protons and neutrons, both determine the mass of an atom.
Mass of 1 proton = 1.007276 u
Mass of 1 neutron = 1.008664 u
Mass of 1 electron = 0.00054858 u
Mass of proton is almost same as that of neutron but is more than the mass of electron.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
